Some folks are just uncouth.

I'm not surprised about the breakdowns. Most folks get a bus and just hit the road thinking they'll run forever with no maintenance.

Hope you heal up quick man!

Why?
I've NEVER ran a bus without going over everything.
If I were to follow what most others do, I'd have already painted the bus and put time into converting it before I found the mechanical problem.
Ask Sandi- I'm a BIG believer in fixing the bus before proceeding with all the other stuff.

I'm doing it the other way around, but only because it's winter.

I've identified the mechanical issues and I'll deal with them when it warms up a bit. Meanwhile, it's not driving anywhere and I can work on the inside.

we are driving older vehicles.. they can and do break-down.. I do agreee that taking all precautions ahead of time is the best way to go.. driving and learning your bus before you embark..

although that said, both of my busses I bought and took off on 1000 mile road trips to get them home... both of them were serviced first... and one still broke down...

I can totally vouch for that!!!

If it aint broke dont worry about it till it breaks. I got my bus from a rental company, they say they went over everything but it made it home. first thing i did was oil change. I guess if it is winter & snowing interior 1st is fine.

After getting my bus inspected by California Highway patrol(<<<<

i cant bang my head enough).... (DMV.

)

** it is time to install these dam air horns. Me being hypochondriac i am, i tore down my air horns, bored, drilled & tapped them out for a 1/4 npt. The louder the better..
So i can mount them individualy.
I want to push more psi to my horns, so i got a pressure regulator so i can increase the psi.

** a couple two way air splitters & fittings later.
The pressure switch, my air bags & my stock horn i swaped to an air horn is going to run off one block.
the four horns are running from the quick disconnect to the other block , i still need a few more fittings but its almost their.

* i got these to replace the stock horns awhile ago but they suck,
so i got another pressure regulator to delete the compressor it came with & run it off my large tank. And bump up the psi to those as well.

Just make sure that the line supplying air pressure to your horns is isolated from the rest of the system.

The last thing you want to happen when you honk your horns is for something else in the system to lose air pressure.

It would be a bit of a problem if every time you honked your horn your air bags deflated.

Pennies would be perfect, as would things like bottle tops or even a jigsaw if the resin could penetrate between the pieces.

**Twigg. I hope it works. I hope i dont slab off, my dresser top. Next is kichen top.

Noo way man i would never do such a thing.

dopamine16 · 01-26-2018, 06:14 PM

I finally got it all installed & was able to test & run leak check, My dad as usual helped me wire the thing up cause i have know freakin idea about electrical.
**The problems i had were, compressor was not shuting off & safety valve kept blowing. Took pressure switch off first thinking that was the problem, it was my safty valve i ordered a 225psi burst valve they sent me a mothersucking 125psi, so i have to wait for new one, another isssue is i didnt put a( on/ off )valve before the 3/8 swival quick disconnect so i will be ordering & adding one of those. Live & learn..
